NAPA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders expressed relief that running back Mike Goodson is only dealing with a bit of soreness a day after being hospitalized with a neck injury following a scary training camp hit.
Goodson is back with the team but did not come out to Wednesday’s practice. Coach Dennis Allen says he doesn’t know when Goodson will be back but does not anticipate it taking as long as a few weeks.
Goodson and Taiwan Jones were expected to compete for time as Darren McFadden’s backup in Oakland. But with Jones also sidelined with a hamstring injury, former practice squader Lonyae Miller will get a chance to shine in the exhibition opener for the Raiders (No. 23 tie in the AP Pro 32) on Monday night against Dallas.
